Okay, remember how I said Trump is such an existential threat to democracy that even I felt like I had to vote Biden/Harris in 2024? Yeah....this is why. After January 6th, I knew he would try this crap. I mean, he tried to overthrow election results once, of course he would try to do it again.
Now, as articles point out, he has no authority to cancel elections, but I'm sure he's gonna try. Emergency powers to declare curfew on election day, ban mail in voting, crap like that. Not to mention the rank militarization of police and deploying the national guard on US soil to give blue states a hard time. Dude's a dictator. Or at least he wants to be.
So yeah. Right now, the plan is to leverage the 2026 midterms to at least win the house. That will allow democrats to put checks and balances on him, given how right now he has the run of the entire federal government as the GOP is mostly falling in line behind him. But if he just cancels elections, we're kinda cooked, democracy is kinda cooked.
So yeah, we need to sound the alarm bells over this. We are at a very dangerous point in American history, and idk where this is gonna go. I don't even really wanna go there. And uh, yeah. I'm gonna end it here.
